GP, Explosion-Proof and FMS Lab Refrigerators and Freezers
Flammable Materials Storage
Refrigerators & Freezers
These VWR Scientific units will prevent potentially destructive
explosions in any facility by meeting the standards established
by Underwriter’s Laboratory, Inc. OSHA and National Fire
Protection Association for storage of hazardous
materials.They also are designed to comply with National Fire
Protection Association Standards Nos.45 and 99, as well as
OSHA Article No. 29 CFR 1910.307. VWR Scientific
Flammable Materials Storage Refrigerators/Freezers are
manufactured for safe, cold storage of volatile materials.
Refrigerators/Freezers will prevent an explosion from
occurring inside the unit.These units have no internal electrical
components that could trigger an explosion of hazardous
materials inside the unit. (They are NOT designed for use in
class I, Groups C and D environments — for these locations
use a VWR Scientific Explosion-Proof Refrigerator.) However,
FMS units are not suitable for use in Class I, Group C and D
environments.
This complete line includes single and 2-door upright
refrigerators and freezers, horizontal chest freezers, and
under counter refrigerators.
These units are ideal for storing cyclopropane, ethyl ether,
ethylene, acetone, alcohol, benzene, butane,
gasoline,hexane, lacquer solvent vapors, naphtha, natural gas
or propane along with many other potentially hazardous
materials.
All cabinets have heavy-gauge steel construction with a
durable exterior finish of epoxy enamel.A well insulated
cabinet and tight sealing magnetic door prevent air leaks
along with helping to lower operating costs.The interior is
made of porcelain enameled steel or ABS plastic.
VWR Scientific offers the largest selection of FMS units. All
models are delivered with 3-wire line cord and molded plug.
All 115-volt FMS models are UL listed.
WARNING:
For Flammable Materials Storage
units where flammable materials are stored in the
cooling chamber, the cooling chamber is
considered a Class I Div 1 or Class I Zone 1
hazardous location. Any monitoring devices
placed in the cooling chamber must have an
intrinsically safe rating from an appropriate
certification body, such as UL, CSA, FM etc. (this
includes battery or solar powered devices).
Thermocouples for building monitoring systems must be
wired through an electrical barrier designed to provide
isolation against voltage and current spikes, which could
cause a spark resulting in fire or explosion. It is the your
responsibility to meet these requirements. VWR cannot assist
with the selection of devices, recommend, approve or design
any device or monitoring circuit.
